There are lots of ABI variations that might be relevant to this; requiring 
updates for all of those at release time doesn't seem a good idea (we 
rarely manager to get a full set of test reports for a release).  Lots 
more variations than applicable for ulps updates (and really we should be 
able to reduce the number of libm-test-ulps files further; given a generic 
one for (flt-32, dbl-64) and one for (flt-32, dbl-64, ldbl-128), only 
i386, x86_64, ia64, m68k and powerpc ought to need their own versions, 
plus maybe hppa and sh because of underlying floating-point issues, though 
maybe fused operations would slightly increase that number).
